The increase in the presence of photovoltaic energy, electric vehicle charging and electric storage, despite bringing countless advantages, can cause several problems. The coexistence between direct current and alternating current is one of them. The presence of conversions using inverters is the main solution but can create a lot of energy losses.
Coordination between different systems that perform these conversions can also cause abnormal operations. An alternating current storage system can be an ideal option for this type of installation, providing a series of advantages that can help.
Efficient charging from the electrical grid
The ability to charge the batteries in alternating current from the electrical grid is a key and differential characteristic of systems such as the Pixii Powershaper. Features like load shifting or Peak Shaving can save considerably on costs. This intelligent functionality optimizes the use of stored energy and minimizes electricity costs.
Flexible and Adaptable Installation
Batteries capable of connecting to AC current offer the freedom of later installation, after having implemented solar panel installations, since they can be connected after the grid inverters of the photovoltaic installation without the need for hybridization, or to an existing electric vehicle charging station.
This flexibility is essential, allowing users to evaluate their consumption habits before investing in additional storage, or simply defer the initial investment later.
Easy Installation Expansion
The BESS in alternating current they are usually modular systems that allow easy connection to an installation already made. This feature allows for easy and effective expansion of the photovoltaic system. With increasing electrical demands due to the proliferation of electric vehicles and the electrification of businesses, the ability to expand the installation is essential, mainly due to the increases in power required. AC batteries facilitate this process, ensuring that our system grows at the same rate as our energy needs..
Adaptation to premature equipment obsolescence
The photovoltaic industry progresses rapidly, leading to early obsolescence of equipment and components. Hybrid inverters and DC batteries, even just a few years old, can become incompatible with the latest products on the market. This can create situations where PV installation owners are forced to replace equipment that should have had a longer lifespan.
Alternating current batteries, being more versatile and autonomous, help alleviate this problem, ensuring that the system can be expanded and updated without problems and without depending on advances in the market.. When modifying any element of the installation to update it, the battery is not affected since it only needs an alternating current input, with parameters that always have to be maintained, despite hardware updates.
Easy sync and compatibility
As long as the electrical parameters are maintained within permitted ranges in the alternating current part, there will be no synchronization problems with other elements.. Even if we have inefficient energy generation, such as a generator set, or the harmonics caused in a photovoltaic installation, the storage system can help us correct these problems and improve the quality of the electrical signal.
Compatibility is also one of the key characteristics of batteries that connect to AC such as the Pixii Powershaper, since it does not force us to use hybrid inverter systems of the same brand or compatible, having complete freedom to adapt to any installation already carried out.
In addition, intelligent management of the system can be carried out without communication between the storage system and the generating station, but it is always advisable to add a monitoring and management system to improve efficiency and self-management between systems with their corresponding updates.
